Inarimid, great review! You really painted a picture for me about what is to come in the book. After reading the sample, I was kind of curious what the main story-line was going to pan into, and now I know it centers around the baby and not the grandmother.

I'm excited to finish it one day:)

Awesome! That's what this review is, so detailed and as intricate as the plot of the book. The complexity and the twists and turns of the story will leave me dizzy. Though interesting, maybe, but I'll rather read some other sci-fi thriller. However, I give kudos to the reviewer for a job well done. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

I considered myself warned. I'm glad you enjoyed this book. However, it's not my cup of tea; starting with spirits that possess people and sexual intimacy between men. Those topics are not for the weak of heart and I am one of them. Thanks for the review, though.

The review was unbiased.the review expressed all the pros and cons of the book but by discribing some scenes (sex scenes)deliberately he is attracting the reader towards the book. And he clearly tells the book is for which catageory of readers. This may help the reader is it really woth to read r not.myself I understood the story is faraway from the reality which include spirits,misspells, all these r futile.

I always loved the paranormal. Reading the review has me excitedly waiting to see what happens. Cant wait to read about her journey in life. The details in the review where exciting but mysterious at the same time.

A coming-of-age novel about mysticism, adventures, and ghosts. The plot seems interesting but scary to me.

An absolutely riveting review. It sounds like a book I will want to read, but I will want to be in the right frame of mind for it.

Thanks for the review, it definitely sounds like a very interesting book. It is a genre I would not normally read, but I like your thoughts about the book and writing style.

Re: Official Review: The Engine Woman's Light
Whoah! :shock2: This review is brilliant. :tiphat: Makes me want to delve into the book right away. The description of how Juanita narrates in the first person and Billy in the third person alone gets me wanting to engage with the book. It's not everyday that a book is written with such skill. It's a bit eery though. Sends chills down my spine.

Elegantly written review!

Probably not my kind of book but that's okay.

This sounds like a roller-coaster ride of a story, from secret foundlings to helpful ghosts, with Juanita at the middle of it all. Thanks for the review

Thanks for your in depth review. This sounds like a much heavier book than the cover and blurb indicate. I additional info.
